Betty Mae Wider

Betty Mae Wider passed away on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 due to illness. Betty was born in July of 1931, the oldest of four children of Veryl and Floyd Robertson in the Shingobee Township of Minnesota. During her childhood she spent a lot of her time with her Grandmother Wakefield and learned as she put it "the important things in life" and her Native American heritage. Betty always told her family "she loved a man with a motorcycle" so it was no surprise she married Austin in August of 1950 and moved to Moses Lake in the spring of 1959. Betty enjoyed square dancing , bowling, knitting, crocheting , reading and was a great cook! She rarely met a stranger she did not speak to. Betty remained married to Austin until his death in June of 2008. Betty is survived by two daughters, Dorinda Wider and Colleen Hazel (Gary), two grandsons Jeremy Hazel, and Nicholas Hazel (Megan), and two great grandchildren, Jordynn Hazel (father, Jeremy) and Owen Hazel (father, Nicholas) and longtime family friend and "corner child", Ida Baltikauskas. Betty will always be remembered for her smile and laughter! At her request there will be no services.
